On how season two could begin, the Black Mirror actor said that fellow star "Jess [Barden] used to talk about… there are some themes in series one where we're on the beach, and everything's coming to an end.

"She was saying how she would like the second series to start with a musical on the beach — taking a role in a musical version of The End of the F***ing World, which I would be completely up for!

"I'm not sure how Charlie [Covell, series writer] will take that, but we're going to push that idea as far as we can."

We also asked Alex why he thinks the show appeals to so many people, to which he replied: "I do love dark stuff that's also quite funny. Even The End of the F***ing World, for all of its darkness, what I really loved about it – and the same with Ghost Stories – was that reading it made me laugh.

"I find it really attractive when I'm looking for work if it's something that always retains its sense of humour. Andy [Nyman] and Jeremy [Dyson] did that with Ghost Stories, and Charlie Covell does that with her writing in The End of the F***ing World."

Speaking of Ghost Stories, the film is released in cinemas on April 6. Watch a trailer for it right here:
